On Top

9.12.2011

Thanks so much for the sweet comments about my drum table. Now let's see what's on top.

It is almost the same vignette I had on top of the cheetah ottoman with a couple of changes.

This is a pair of vintage glasses that I found in the antique mall the other day and they sit on top of a stack of vintage books. I have been wanting some vintage glasses for some time, but did not want to pay $40 or more for them. I lucked up and got these with the case for $10.

The amber colored bottle was a recent flea market find that I shared in an earlier post.

Added my chalkware collie to the mix.

All of it sits on my black tray.

I am using this table as a tea table instead of a coffee table which would be lower. Joni from Cote de Texas did a post a little while back about how she uses the higher tables in front of her sofas instead of a lower coffee table. I love the look of the higher tables.

Geez, if I had known you wanted some vintage glasses, I could have sent you some of MINE!!! LOL!!!!! Love the table and the vignette! It all looks great and I agree, if Joni says a tea table is OK, who am I to argue:):) XO, Pinky

Look at what you did with that table. The glasses are wonderful and I am sure Joe has some of those somewhere also. The tea height is just perfect and I have many friends in S.C. who have them in front of their sofas.

I love how you brought new life to that desperate table. I have always preferred the height of tea tables, but hubby doesn't. He thinks tables are meant for feet to rest upon...ah, well the compromises one must make on occasion.

Kim, the table is beautiful and I love your vignette you displayed on it. I so agree, I really like the look of the taller tea tables instead of a coffee table. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty

Kim, your drum table and all of it's accessories look absolutely gorgeous! I have a set of old glasses in a leather case that belonged to my great-grandfather and I treasure them. You always put together such beautiful vignettes! :-)Vanessa

I knew it...I just KNEW that whatever you put on top of this wonderful tea table would....well...knock my sox off.It looks fabulous..that whole room photo needs to be in a magazine. If you will send it to Romantic Homes or something, it WILL get published..I just know it..

Your tabletop vignette is gorgeous Kim but that comes as no surprise! You are just amazing how you can pull things together. I have a pair of old reading glasses that was once Charlie's great great grandfather's. It still has the prescription inside the wooden box case. I have them displayed in one of the guestrooms. I'll have to do a post on them one day.

Such a beautiful "new" drum table, Kim! And, of course, I love the vignette you created. And, I am really liking the look of the higher table, too. I just did that in my sitting room, but added a burlap tablecloth, which I MUST iron before sharing. (Not a fan of ironing, I myst say). Cute pillow, too. Look forward to seeing the other new addition in there, as well!

wow! the drum table looks wonderful Kim! You did a fabulous job on the painting. The whole room is beautiful and love the table top. I haven't seen the "Home is where the Dog is" pillow before... PERFECT!!!

(and a big thank you to you and your sister for your comments yesterday!)

lovely 1 my parents have one of these ..well my brother has it now. and I love it ...wish I had one...I love the collie. I have a sheltie and he looks a little like this statue but he has a sort of bandit mask on his face ...his name is...Bandit !KAT

LOVE it all and that drum table is superb! My mom has one and she'd DIE if I ever suggested she give it to me to PAINT -- haha! Yours is fantastic! Love how you used the tray as a 'base' and added all of the lovely things on top!

Love your table Kim! It looks fabulous. I've been on the hunt around here for a drum table for atleast a year. The ones I have found are too expensive...or sold before I get to them. I found a replacement at TJMAxx several months ago...itll do until I find my drum table!
